I am a small investor in stock and options currently considering opening an
account with Interactive Brokers.
Please take all of the well considered regulatory comments made by Timber Hill /
Interactive Brokers posted at http://www.interactivebrokers.com/ seriously.
I believe that their preference for fairness, equality and efficiency is in the
interest of all market participants.
